Dear Beautiful Soul,

I'm over here in my corner thinking about this story: In high school, I loved the quote, "be the change you want to see in the world." But as so many people referenced it and I began seeing it on the backs of cars, it started to become background noise to me because I didn't want to admit that I thought it meant I had to save the world or cure cancer or at least become a doctor. I worried I'd failed at this simple thing I believed in when I didn't do any of those things.

But somewhere along the way, it's become a reminder to just keep being me and show up in my open-hearted, imperfect ways. I don't have to save anyone, but I can say, "There's a space right here beside me if you want to sit for awhile."

From the jewelry I make to the retreats I host to the stories I share here in this space, each offering I put into the world is an invitation, from me to you, to enter a safe space where you can show up as you, tell the true stories, open your heart just a little bit more, and know that even in the moments when you feel like there are broken spaces inside you, you are always, always whole. Yes.

I'm so glad you're here. I hope you'll explore the links above and share some of your stories too.
